Hey everyone! I just started on the slow-carb diet this week and so far so good! I have been sticking to the plan and feeling really great. I also exercise quite a bit-- going back and forth between hot yoga and cardio/weights. This diet seems very similar to the Adkins diet just from what I have read about it because I ...

Ok... I know this is probably a dumb question but anyway... I usually put my alarm clock and it takes me around 30 min to actually get up. The best 30 min of my day by the way. Problem is that normally I'm always late for the 30 min range for breakfast... if you count that after waking up. I have tried to look for the scie...

A million years ago in my 20s I did Atkins with great success. It was my first dieting experience and maybe because of that I found it easy and sustainable - for awhile. After losing 60 lbs in about 8 months although I had more to go I felt comfortable and once I got over an initial "fear" of eating carbs again I let ...

This Still all seems like a lot of Hocus Pocus to me.... but I have been doing it for a week and a half preparing for my second Cheat/Binge day and I have already lost over Ten Lbs. But I am afraid that my body will become conditioned to this predictable cycle and I will no Longer benefit from this diet and Cheat Day wil...

i discovered that I feel 100 better the day after binge day if I eat 100-200gr prunes depending on body size as my last snack on binge day. Tim suggest using caffeine as a mild laxative but that doesn't work for me. I hate feeling bloated and sluggish post binge day and prunes have seemed to fix that problem. They elimi...

Believe it or not until I had pictures taken I could NOT see any change in myself. The scales and the tape measure said I was changing but I just couldn't "see" it. I really recommend taking pictures like these to confirm. Start Date December 29th 2010 - weight 93.3 kg 205.6lbs - body fat 45.3 horrifying! Pictures ta...

Second week in a row that it takes me 3 full days to get down to my pre-cheat day weight mon tues wednes This morning finally down to 279 again. I have been pushing water like crazy 1.5-2 gallons a day. But what I wonder is how long it takes most of you to get over the cheat day weight? Can we make this faster? Afteral...

Is anyone managing their fat intake of 4hb? I like to use oilive oil and I know fat is essential but the book didn't really say how much to use or how little to use. Just curious. Thanks for your help!

So this past weekend I went to a game lodge in Limpopo South Africa it was incredible but not very conducive to sticking to a slow carb diet. So the diet kinda went out the window and although it did fall over cheat day the cheat day became two days as opposed to one. So today I have started over. Hoping the damage from...

I've come up with the perfect recipe for tapioca pudding that's slow carb gets you your daily deliverance of cinnamon gives you 30 g of protein has no sugar tastes delicious and is pure amazing! Not sure if anyone else is using them but the secret is chia seeds! I friend told me about them a month ago and since then...

Hi" I know book says should at eat about 4 hour intervals I have breakfast about 6.30 but won't have lunch til 12 o'clock. As I have a big 4hb breakfast I'm not too hungry before that. Afraid can't have lunch at work any earlier. Even though don't need should I have a snack or 5 and half hours between meals going to have...

Last night I couldn't resist and ate at least 3 servings of peanut butter 6 tablespoons. That's 600 calories and has tons of carbs. I know PB is allowed in small quantities on SCD...but I went way too far and finished the jar. How much damage do you think I did?

Many items I'm coming across contain small or trace amounts of sugar how should I deal with these? Are they allowed? If I end up eating a total of 3-4g of sugar per day will this kill the slow carb diet? I'm having trouble finding pure no-sugar foods. Examples Chipotle Tabasco Sauce ingredients list contains 'sugar' b...

I am a vegetarian and my main source of protein is eggs. I love eggs and I usually eat at least four whole free range eggs a day sometimes mixing with organic. Am I going to dye?

So halfway into binge day 1...I seem to be snapping at the kids ...but I am also feeling kinda lazy. Is this normal? also noticed that I'm not as into crappy food as I thought I would be ...oh and I had "a non binge breakfast"

I used to go to the gym a lot roughly 3-4x a week and usually did weights followed by 20-30mins running and 10 mins cycling. That was back when I managed to get from 228-around 140lbs. However when I stopped I lost some of the muscle I built up and a large part of my weight loss despite still being active was probably mus...

I want to know whether I'm on the right track. I lose between 03-04 Kilo per day. How much do you lose?

Do you guys think its possible to get off SCD for an extended period of time say a month in order to restart its heavy fat loss in the initial diet part? The reason I am asking is because I have plateaued not losing much on SCD and the one time I plateaued hard albeit because of cheating often and I got back on the d...

Sorry that's the best title I could come up with. LOMAD. Liter of Milk a Day. Have you done it? Did your BF increase stay the same.... OR did it drop? GOMAD. Gallon of Milk a Day Did you do it without puking? Photos would be a great help! not of the puking-- of your body changes!! sickos

I have been traveling this week for business and didn't prep well for my 8hr flights. I was week and had some carbs in my dinner and after dinner yogurt bag of "pop chips". my cheat isn't supposed to be for a two more days and I ate well the rest of the day. Should I count this as my cheat day? Does anyone have suggesti...

Lately I have been indulging myself in beef and tons of it. Before I was buying frozen steaks NoName's 6oz cutlets but now I have been exploring fresh cuts from my local market. I could eat them every single day if I wanted to but usually stick to about 4 times a week not including any burrito bowls I get that week. ...

I'm on day 6 of the scd. Loving it loving how I've nourished I've been feeling. Having less 'high's and low's' then I usually do. Haven't had any weight loss yet or changes in my body as far as losing inches I know this may take some time. Is it normal to feel a little bloated from having such a large 30g of protein ...
